I heard it was selling out left and right. I probably should have bought tickets in advance. Oh well.

download a screener, go into the cinema to another film that's not sold out and project the screener on the cinema screen :stroke of genius:

I just saw it and I thought it was pretty freakin sick. Much better than Sin City in my opinion.

I found it entertaining. Worth seeing to pass some time. Many epic battles and tons of mutants and whatnot.

it was neato, but the complete disregard for historical accuracy made my tummy ache. but what was i expecting? its based on a comic or some shit

I don't get this.

A lot of reviews point out LOL HISTORKAL AKKURACY as one of the huge downfalls of it.

NO. SHIT.

That's like saying that one of the big reasons "Lord of the Rings" was a terrible series was that it was historically inaccurate.

Just got back from 300. Very cool shit. It's just one hell of a manly movie. haha. Kinda like they took Gladiator, Sin City, and Braveheart and mixed them in a blender, leaving out most of the emotional shit and "reality" then packing on the asskickery. I never really felt for the characters, but then if I want that I'll watch Braveheart. My only complaint is the speeches got a little cliched.

Oh, and just so you know: the Spartans lose.

Spoilers, lolz.

PsychoSniper · Post by **PsychoSniper** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 10:52 am

So did they show any of the other greek city stats that were at the battle, or the 1000 or so thespians were belived to have remained with the spartans ?

I plant to see this eventualy, simply because its looking bad ass.

But then, I still havent botherd to see Borat or the latest bond flick so meh,

jetbaby · Post by **jetbaby** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 12:38 pm

The Thespians were in the movie. "Not warriors, more brawlers, really. But they serve their purpose." or something to that effect.

Also the new Bond movie sucks.

Mad Max RW · Post by **Mad Max RW** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 3:25 pm

If you know the story the rest of the army comes back and wipes out the Persians. The end of 300 makes this obvious. King Leonidas and his 300 men really did make a last stand and hold their own. All that shit happened, but the weird mutant dudes and some of the other weirdness is just to make it more legendary than historical. Stories tend to be exaggerated over time. In that respect the movie was historically accurate. Some critics don't get it.

After they saved their homeland they took the war to the Persians. Spartans had balls.

Killzig · Post by **Killzig** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 3:42 pm

The decisive battle was on the water in Salamis. The Athenians won that war, they cut off the Persian supply line. Xerxes left Greece after that. The army that remained was cleaned up by the combined forces. And that last battle, Platea the Spartan force was made up mostly of HELOTS. "Free men" LAWLz.

You shouldn't go into this movie expecting any kind of historical accuracy. You shouldn't go into any film expecting any kind of historical accuracy unless it's a documentary.

Also Athens can suck it. Sparta kicked their asses. Also, nice avatar, Killzig.
